We'll know more when they have the business rules out. Too much info all ar once here. It will take a couple days to clarify every change.
I pay my DISH bill to Century Link. So my question is, will they offer the Free HD to us that are bundling our bills??
It is a great ploy by Dish. They install all HD equipment at new installs anyways. They also require a 2 year commitment under most promos. Dish also probably does not have to pay any more for the HD versions of all the channels in the package.
The only thing it costs the new customer is CC autopay.

How could our bills go UP? I am cool with staying where we are with the Plat pack having some decent channels in there now - but how could they add to existing customers bills for something they are making free for new people?
Lets say you have HD and Platinum now for $10...
They could (and I say again COULD) split the HD out and charge you for HD and Platinum seperate, this means to get them both it will cost you $20.
However if you agree to a new 2 year commitment then they will drop the $10 HD charge and now just charge you $10 for platinum.
I am hoping however this is not the case as one of the things I was sent states..
So there is hope.

Do you HAVE to do paperless billing? I am cool with all of the above as long as I get a bill in the mail each month.
Yes paperless billing is a requirement.
I want a copy of my bill, charge me $1 month for it and let me have the free HD as well... I am on credit card auto pay.. I just want a paper bill too.
dont they mean "25 PART TIME RSN"s that may or may not show your local teams game in HD even though it is?

So after all the confusion about getting the Platinum package added to our HD for free a few months back, Dish is now going to go right back and charge us for the Platinum pack again? With the possibility of charging us another $10 for the HD we originally had for free?
I hope Dish clarifies this real soon.
Apple may be known for "having an App for that!", but Dish is going to be known for "having a fee for that!"

The above does not make any sense to me if we have to add $10 extra to the price of of our current package "Top 250" plus Platinum for me, or have the HD removed from the Top 250.
This is not for the subs. It is not a promotion. It is a way for Dish to get an extra $10 a month, $99 or an extension of service from us.

what's funny is the other site is still trying to figure out if the this is true or not. I guess retailers don't go over there to visit because they are saying that maybe the rumor is because something was announced at team summit this week...
best way to explain the two sites, this is like a 24 hour tv news channel and the other is like a weekly new mag. Here you find out as it is happening, and there you can read about what happened last week!

I like that the folks that work for DirecTV are in their now upset about it over there.
If DIRECTV is upset about it, they can raise the anti by offering free HD with just your base subscription.. no auto pay, no paperless billing and no extending your commitment... just free HD.
Now that would rock.

I get an e-mail every month from Dish telling me that I have a new bill. I go to statements and print it out. Much cheaper than the $1 per month.:up
